This research aims to discuss the feasibility of integrating interdisciplinary studies into education in the fields of science and mathematics at the high school level and possible barriers to the integration of these studies into the education system. In order to collect data, document analysis and informal observation were made, semi- structured interviews were designed. Interview questions consist of two parts. In the first part, demographic information; in the second part, the feasibility of interdisciplinary studies in high school science and mathematics, obstacles that may occur before or during implementation, teacher and student readiness, and the benefits of interdisciplinary education were asked. 13 teachers working in a private high school participated in the interview. The findings of the study show that interdisciplinary studies performed between the fields of science and mathematics at high school level. According to teachers' opinions, in order to increase the applicability of interdisciplinary studies, interdisciplinary connections between education programs should be high, the level of readiness of the teacher and the student should be high, the content of the work to be done should be planned in detail and the school culture should be suitable for interdisciplinary studies. In addition, the reasons for the obstacles in front of the feasibility of interdisciplinary studies in the opinions of the teachers are the lack of communication between the teachers of different disciplines, the lack of motivation in both the student and the teacher due to the fact that a test-centered education is essential, and the lack of time.

Exploring the development of pre-service science teachers’ views on nature of science in inquiry-based laboratory instruction
Özgelen, Sinan; Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül; Department of Educational Sciences (2010)
The purposes of this study were to explore understanding of preservice science teachers’ (PSTs) nature of science (NOS) views during the explicit-reflective and inquiry-based laboratory instruction and investigate PSTs’ perspectives and experiences related to learning NOS aspects in the science laboratory course. This study was carried out during the Laboratory Application in Science II course. A total of 45 PSTs participated to the study. The design of the study was qualitative and exploratory in nature. I...
The pedagogy of argumentation in science education: science teachers' instructional practices
Yilmaz, Yasemin Ozdem; Çakıroğlu, Jale; ERTEPINAR, HAMİDE; ERDURAN, Sibel (Informa UK Limited, 2017-01-01)
Argumentation has been a prominent concern in science education research and a common goal in science curriculum in many countries over the past decade. With reference to this goal, policy documents burden responsibilities on science teachers, such as involving students in dialogues and being guides in students' spoken or written argumentation. Consequently, teachers' pedagogical practices regarding argumentation gain importance due to their impact on how they incorporate this practice into their classrooms...
A needs analysis to develop an astronomy program for Turkish elementary and seconday schools
Kahraman, Oktay; Eryılmaz, Ali; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2006)
In this study, needs analysis has been made to gather the necessary data for developing a possible astronomy program for elementary and secondary schools in Turkey. In order to collect and to determine the students’ and teachers’ needs, 35 elementary schools and 20 secondary schools in the six districts (Keçiören, Çankaya, Yenimahalle, Altındağ, Mamak and Sincan) of Ankara in Turkey has been visited during 2004-2005 fall semester. 2133 elementary and 1180 secondary school students, and 37 teachers were invo...
An Assessment of Factors Related to Science Achievement of Turkish Students
Kalender, Ilker; Berberoglu, Giray (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01)
In this study, a hypothesised model with latent variables such as socio-economic status, students' perception of success and interest in different subject matter areas, out-of-school activities, and classroom teaching learning activities in relation to science achievement of the students was tested via linear structural modelling. The data come from the Student Assessment Program-2002 conducted by the Ministry of National Education in Turkey. The results obtained in a sample of 29,911 students indicated tha...
The Relative Effectiveness of Integrated Reading Study Strategy and Conceptual Physics Approach
Taslidere, Erdal; Eryılmaz, Ali (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2012-04-01)
The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the combined and partial effects of the Integrated Reading/Study Strategy and Conceptual Physics Approach on ninth grade private high school students' achievement in and attitudes toward optics. The Integrated Reading/Study Strategy is a new strategy which was developed by integrating previously existing reading strategies of the KWL and SQ3R with classroom lecturing. The Conceptual Physics Approach is an instructional strategy developed on the basis of C...
